Trying to make up my mind where to go trekking in the mountains (3-4 days) and when, would love your help with that.where - Options are - High Tatras in Slovakia, Rila in Bulgaria, or Romania (not sure which specific range, need recommendations)when - last week of June or Beginning - mid July.

Considerations are:1. Dramatic and scenic scenery .2. Weather - when and where there is less chance for rain or\and clouds3. Crowds - I heard that Tatras are crowded but we plan to go on mid…

Hi,In two weeks time we will be going to Romania and stay there for about 4 weeks. What is a nice place to visit the monastries of Moldavia and Bucovina. We were thinking of Gura Humorului and Targu Neamt. Are these place fine to use as a base ? We have about 4 to 5 days to visit the area or is this too much ?Thanks for an answer.Nicky

Hi, Were off to Braşov next week and would like to do a bear watching trip in the forest, would it be best to book a trip up online here in the uk (about euro 45 for 3 hours). or wait until Braşov and book something up locally?Are there many tour agencies in Braşov?Thank youKaren

I will be hiking in the area of Mara-Breb to leud and then up to Sighetu Marmatiei. About five-six days, village to village, mostly through the woods, over the hills and off the trails. I will find places to stay along the way. Are there any dangers or other issues I should be aware of in this area of Romania?

We are looking for a family friendly homestay in Transylvania this summer - ideally staying with another family so our children can play etc and experience the local way of life. In/around Brasov, Sovata and Bistrita. I have only found larger guesthouses online. If anyone has any recommendations or suggestions of where to look that would be great!

I'm thinking of doing a cross-country hike, village-to-village, from Sighisoara to Cluj-Napoca. Not interested in big mountains, I'm more into rambling through the woods and across fields. I will carry everything with me and I have six days to do the hike. Probably late May. If anyone can tell me about this area of Romania, including general info on places to eat and sleep between these two towns, I'd really appreciate it. I'm open to suggestions for other sections of Romania, also.

I'm going to be in Bucharest a few days from now and then heading to Brasov. I'd like to get there without spending too much traveling on public transport (under normal circumstances I'm always a fan of trains and buses when abroad.) Can anyone recommend a driver with car? I'm not really interested in a guide. Searching this forum for other posts haven't really give me much info.

My husband and I along with our son want to do a multi-day hike in or around the Bran / Bucegi Mountains area. Do they have lodges or hiking hostels that you can stay at. We really didn't want to bring all our camping gear. Or if there is trail between towns or villages.

Also, we'll be there early June. Any idea the typical weather that time of year.
